Jordan FA: VAR reviewed 4 incidents, referee final decision
Explanation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Technology Agreement in the Jordanian Football League Reports have focused on the implementation of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology in the Jordanian Professional League for the 2026/2027 season, aiming to improve the accuracy of refereeing decisions. The Vice President of the Jordan Football Association, Marwan Juma, clarified that the technology involves monitoring referees from a remote operations room outside the stadium, using multiple camera angles and slow-motion replays. VAR interventions are limited to four main situations: goals (to verify the absence of violations such as offside or handball), penalties (to grant or cancel them), straight red cards (without yellow cards), and correcting the identity of a player in case of a wrongful call. If a clear, serious error is identified, the video assistant communicates with the main referee via earpiece, who retains the final decision—either approving the recommendation or reviewing the footage on a screen next to the field. The union’s goal in implementing this system is to enhance refereeing accuracy and reduce mistakes in important matches.
